Coding Grace README

Steps to get django site running locally on your machine

• heroku login

If you haven't forked the heroku app before. (Ref: Forking App on Heroku)

heroku fork -a sourceapp targetapp

Where sourceapp is coding-grace.

This will give you an instance to the live database, and also port over the apps installed with it automagically.

Now we will export the environment settings:

eval $(heroku config -a <app> --shell | sed -E 's/^([A-Z_]+=)(.*)/export \1\2/g') where <app> is the name of your heroku app.

To see if this works, type the following in your terminal.

echo $DJANGO_SECRET_KEY

This is a custom environment variable.

echo $DATABASE_URL

Compare with the database URL in your app settings via Heroke dashboard. They should be the same.

You can see your forked heroku app on .herokuapp.com.

To run is locally:

python manage.py runserver --settings=codinggrace_django.settings_heroku_dev

Handy stuff

Adding a new social application to allauth

Social Accounts › Social applications

Getting latest database snapshot

Get latest copy of the data and overides the targetapp's database

Example: heroku pgbackups:transfer --app coding-grace-dev coding-grace::CHARCOAL HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_OLIVE

You can get the pg names from your dashboard.
